Nobody talks about Villains of circumstance :( i feel like its one of the deepest songs in the album.

The most underrated album of theirs. It’s phenomenal

another fact about Feet Don't Fail Me is the intro was heavily inspired by the Terminator 2 theme. I got that from Jesse Hughes son and was confirmed by Josh Homme himself, wicked cool song on a wicked cool album

Iggy Pop didn't write the phrase "feet don't fail me now". He co-opted it from old pop-standards that referenced dance-contests.

This album is a lot like Era Vulgaris for me. They are very different albums, but with both my initial reaction to them was poor, and it took YEARS to let it creep up on me and now both are fantastic. EV might be my 1st or 2nd fave qotsa album now. An aspect of a truly brilliant artist

Dude. DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE. THAT ALBUM IS A FUCKING DIAMOND. you are the first music channel that make a video about Villains. Thank you so much for this you made my whole month

Might be my least favorite qotsa record but it's still good. Talk about era vulgaris next please!!

Villains is deffo the album that got me into QOTSA so for those reasons I rank it high in my list of fave albums by them. I dare say Feet Don’t Fail Me might be my favourite song by them. Also interesting how you didn’t refer to your old review of Villains when you said you didn’t like it very much, would’ve loved to hear what made you change your mind.

Absolutely love this album Queens are kings.

I should probably be heading off to sleep but I cant resist a video essay on the best band of all time

Far out The Evil Has Landed is so good, sounds like a led Zeppelin song! The song that got me into qotsa!

The deluxe preorder came with a custom denim jacket too! I wear it so often I’ll probably be buried in it!

How is it possible that you are always talking about bands that I love so much!

Though the mastering wasn't as good as other QOTSA albums, for example: Like Clockwork... I still think it's an underrated album.

Absolutely love this album, great job!

Well, after the first listen of Villains I thought: 'Well thats not such good like other albums'. But this album needs time, now its one of my favourite. Songs like Fortress and Head like a Hounted House are amazing.

This album was UNDERRATED!

First album of theirs I listened to was Villains. I really liked it, and after listening to like clockwork I was impressed. I have yet to get into their other albums yet tho.

Yes my friend, thank you for the dive into Villains. Queens of the stone age / Josh Homme can do no wrong in my eyes. Disappointed there was no love for Villains of Circumstance, though. My favourite song off the whole record.

QOTSA could have any producer and I would still trust the Homme to come through nicely. I trust his musical judgement entirely so if he wants a producer, give him that producer!

You should make a part 2 to this video. I'd really like to hear what else you had to say about the record.

First of all, thank you for this and all the other magnificent videos you produce. They really adds a lot to me. Secondly, I dunno if you're into this stuff, but have you ever heard Tom Waits? I think he would give a very good video for the "Understanding" series.

Well I loved it from the beginning (but not as much as Like Clockwork) but it still grows on me too, which is the most Qotsa thing ever - they always force you to look wider on music. I feel like Josh's intention is to separate fanbase from guys that stick too much to some music genres. The line "I don't like it, cause Nick's not on it" from one of Villains promotion videos is quite real, there are so many people stuck in that era, or even guys that downrate everything since Kyuss. The thing I find interesting is how many songs on this album are, i don't know how to call it, hiding its' true nature? The Way You Used To Do at first sounds too normal/mainstream for a Qotsa song but as you discover 30s swing in it, you realise, how good and clever it is. Feet Don't Fail Me - of course the intro, The Evil Has Landed main riff wants us to believe it's faster than it really is, head Like A Haunted House is ... weird.... in a good way. Honestly only Fortress is the song I don't love that much, mostly cause of lyrics - i just don't feel it (obviously it wasn't written for me to feel it). Anyway, it's been two years and Josh is suspiciously silent right now... just how he was before Post Pop Depression... and before Villains...

Great video!

I fucking love Fortress. Makes me tear up

I usually don't completely appreciate a QOTSA album till years later. Except for songs for the deaf, but I didn't realize that I didn't fully appreciate it till I really paid attention and heard it in a different way. I was totally listening with "deaf" ears for years

They hired Mark Ronson to help them make a quality album. They were a live staple but believed finished as songwriters. This record proved otherwise.

Great video! I was hoping to see you talk about Villains of Circumstance, one of my favorites and one of their most underrated songs.

Hell yeah!! I don't do metronomes in most settings. Now, Clefable is a totally different story, though.

I still can't really get into this album. But, that said, it took years for me to get into Era Vulgaris, which prior to Villains was my least favourite... But now it's in my Top 3 for QOTSA. Villains could some day grow on me. Anyway, great video. If you haven't checked out Failure's Fantastic Planet yet, I strongly recommend it. A hidden space-grunge gem of the 90s that's only recently getting the respect it deserves. One of its songs has been selected for the playlist for NASA's next trip to the moon. Also, their live line-up for a time featured Troy Van Leeuwen, who has been a long term member of QOTSA.

Another great video about a great album by a great band

Fortress is so good imo

Great vid, If you can please do the first album or maybe a kyuss record

Ive only heard this album once and thought and I Remember kind of enjoying it I might listen to it this weekend depending on if I have time or not

Very nice summary. Thanks. My favourite song of it is un-reborn...and perhaps this is the right place to ask a question...who is the woman in this tiny little refrain before the last verse ..hardly to hear...? "This "dadiduh... I know, it sounds ridiculous...but in this little moment, hard to explain...she must be such a kind beauty...this moment gives a peace to me. ...the whole song touches my soul . Reminds me of becoming older (same age as Josh)...thinking about what was...and what never happened...in a nutshell. He gives me a lot with his art. He and of course his friends... and yes, I call them artists. Please excuse my lousy English..

Fantastic, thank you dude. But now I NEED this for every Album... God I hope so oof

5:23 Bro hit the griddy

Couldn’t click faster! Feet don’t fail me now is their best opening song from any album imo.

I am a huge QOTSA fan and thought I'd know all of the things in this video, but I didnt realize the part about not hearing music in his head anymore after the NDE.. That's interesting.

perfect!

Understanding Muse? Please

Great album. All timer for me

First time I heard the album I didn't like it that much because it felt like the editing was even more than a bit off. Then I heard "Un-reborn again" twice, thrice and so on, so I fell in love with that song and with the album, and kind of understood the way they edited it because every song varies a lot from start to finish.

Villians is not QOTSA's finest work. Honestly, to me it marked a stark decline in the quality of their music. Still, I did enjoy it quite a bit, and it did grow on me somewhat overtime. Plus, let's face it- Queens' worst is still far better than most bands best. Great video, man. Appreciate the fun facts behind the tracklist especially. Keep 'em coming.

Great video. But not all of John Carpenter's film were scored by the director himself. The 1982 reboot of THE THING was scored by Oscar-winning composer Ennio Morricone.

Please make a video about the first qotsa songs like born to hula and rickshaw

Still hope you do Talk Talk / The The or both ! Thanks for consideration.

Definitely different to their self titled album and songs like Mexicola. This sound has always been in their roots. Listen to “I Was a Teenage Hand Model.”

Will the Web Class be reopening or is there a waiting list?

nice

Long live qotsa

Villains amazes me more and more as i listen to it.... it truly is QOTSA at their absolute best.

I never was a huge Queens fan but this album is just very good in my opinion. Idk I really like this album but I somehow can't get really deeper into their discography... sadly

I'm still waiting for The Strokes' one

My favourite part of this album is the Domesticated Animals riff coming from the beginning of the bee movie soundtrack

I thought you didn't like this album? Did you change your mind?

more a tempo?

This album was fucking great

Hey lie, what are your thoughts on the new tool song?

I hope David Blowis the III. will become a permanent member of QOTSA.

It sounds like Era Vulgaris’ Little Sister 😏 but it’s my least listened to QOTSA album.

Understanding David Berman please. RIP.

To me this album was a seamless transition from Like Clockwork.

Where has the tame impala vid gone?

Is that metronome flipping me off?

Dude you should review unkle - restless (feat. Josh homme)

THE VIDEO HAS LANDED! ENJOY

I love your videos but wish you would give more love to the early days

The production of the album really lets it down

I’ve remember you were disappointed with this album, and now you’ve blessed us with this video. No one knows lmao

its the best rock album ever made. i never ever remember in my entire life listening to songs so many times like in this record

Only 1:27 Min. in & I fell asleep! Thx!

An intro to Tash Sultana

Critics and some fans know nothing, if you begin by comparing an album that it's all about reinventing the band's sound to the previous one is because you think that the group is just filling some space in the music industry and they can't do something outside their area. It's like "Oh! rated R, SFTD, Like a clockwork were so good, every album of these dudes should be just like that! and obviously that's a big no. Villains, yes, it can be more "laid back", "uptempo" or whatever but just because you expected it to sound as your way doesn't make it bad, musically and overall the album is a masterpiece, if it would have came from another band everyone would be sucking it's package.

Understanding Stone Temple Pilots

Close to first

This album has a lot of undeserved hate

Brookunnaass won the race to be firstt

The album sounded like a B Sides album from every project Josh has been involved in that was produced to sound vaguely cohesive.

By far their worst, but hey the previous one was like clockwork, how can you top that

Ah, the bad one

The sound of Mark Ronson, spoiled the whole album, I notice that the live version of the songs they work, but really Mark ruined the whole record for me

You don’t have to keep saying “end quote”, we get it

people need to stop shitting on villains and era vulgaris

Mark Ronson is a hack and the mixing significantly lowered the quality of the album. Could have been SFTD or LC tier.

u didn't even like it came out. u lose bruh

Saying quote and end quote every time you quote seems unnecessary and is annoying to listen to tbh

stories behind the album sounds cool but i still hate this album...

Was surprised at the satanic overtones of the albums cover and the video of THE WAY..... Not liking that aspect, shit they even wore horns in the video.... wtf!!! The Illuminati has every band we’ve liked

The album is utter shite. I’ve tried so much to dig it but it sucks big time. Ronson’s production has neutered the band; fark, even Homme’s missus rocks out harder than him nowadays.

This album sucked.

Get a new narrator

Villains was terrible. I don't care how much you break it down, it doesn't make the overall product any good.

That album kinda sucked.

Garbage album by an otherwise great band.
